Is there something different about installing Pine under Red Hat Linux 4
on a DEC Alpha as opposed to installing it under regular linux? I grab the
file from ftp.cac.washington.edu, uncompress, tar it, type

./build lnx

and get no compilation. Any idea wy?

	I'm not at familiar with Linux.  However, it may help others
to understand your situation if they had an idea of what exactly you
are seeing.  

	When you say "get no compilation" what does that mean?  Does
that mean nothing is output to your screen and you simply get the
system prompt back?  No error messages or warnings at all?

	Regards,

Well, a whole bunch of stuff gets output to the screen, and it all goes by
really fast. IT takes about three minutes, and there are some warnings
that zoom by that I can't place. When all is said and done, there are no
compiled files to run and no links in the pine3.95/bin subdirectory.

	OK....well you need to capture what is going wrong.  I suspect
that the very last 10 lines or so of the build may give a clue to
other.  I don't know what shell you are using so it is difficult
to judge.  But you can try something like:

./build lnx >& build.out

	which may (depending on the shell) save STDOUT and STDERR to
the file build.out.  Then you can read what is going on and if need
be send that as an attachment to someone more familiar with the OS
you are using.

I think I managed to do it.  Red Hat 3.0.3, running a 2.0.x kernel.
